No prelims! This is as "alla prima" as I can get with Acrylic paint... it's often a rush to beat the drying time, however mediums help here --but that's where the rush is...juggling all visual elements at once, and trying not to paint off key... (especially for these two guys; their scorn would be silent but deadly) There were no prelims for this image, I just jumped in with paint and had at it. The duo were drawn or blocked in with paint as a line drawing of sorts, and the form was patched in as I went along. Yes, the copping is intentional. Took about an hour and 20 min.

I'm back. Where from you may ask? From the abyss of failed hard drives and faltering computers... enough said on that agonizing subject, I am now at least post functional, that is, able to post... I guess I was post (after) functional for a few weeks there, but it's getting much too confusing, and really this isn't the forum anyway. Here are two miserly drawings done back in November before the electronic flood. They are simple refinements on Decima and Nona, but this is better than nothing. Yes? I am keeping them simple but wanted to adjust and specify certain areas.Okay. Onwards and forward.
